Description
A crowd-pleasing dish marrying sweet and spicy flavors with tender chicken in a creamy, zesty sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (or less for milder flavor)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions, for garnish
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly oil a shallow baking dish or spray it with nonstick coating.
- Pat the chicken dry using paper towels, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared dish. Spoon sauce generously over each piece.
- Bake uncovered for about 25–30 minutes until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Broil for an additional 2–3 minutes for a glossy finish, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after taking it out. Scatter chopped green onions and red pepper flakes before serving.
Notes
Pat the chicken dry for better seasoning adherence. Marinate chicken in the sauce for a few hours for added flavor.
